Furries. They're some of the nicest people ever. I'm a cosplayer and our worlds intersect a lot. They raise more money for charity than any group as small as they are, they're kind and accepting, and they're wicked talented. I trust Furries before muggles anyday

they're wicked talented

Sincere question: what specifically are their talents?

[โ€“] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 35 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Setting up/maintaining network infrastructure, coding, providing orgasms, UX design.

Damn design work.

I saw on YT a furry that held several patents for their mask

the US military uses a personal cooling vest that was invented by a furry to keep cool in his fursuit
